2. Remove the alternator.
3. Remove the A/C compressor and bracket with piping con-
nected. Move and support it at the LH side of engine bay with
a rope to avoid putting load on piping.
Refer to HA section in Nissan Service Manual (Supplement
I: Publication No. SM0E-Y61AE0E.)
4. Remove the chain cover, timing chain and other parts in
connection.
Before removing timing chain, remove injection pump
sprocket with No.1 cylinder being positioned at TDC. Refer
to the figure.
Refer to ªTIMING CHAINº, EM-1027.
CAUTION:
After removing timing chain, never rotate crankshaft, or the
piston will push the valve up and damage the valve.
+Do not paint the match mark on the timing chain beforehand
as the No. 1 cylinder is set at the TDC during assembly.
5. Remove the TDC sensor.
CAUTION:
+Do not drop or hit the sensor.
+Store in a clean place free of iron filings, etc.

Checking Tightening Torque
Checking should be performed while engine is cold.
MANIFOLD BOLTS AND NUTS
Intake and exhaust manifolds:
Intake
:25-28Nzm (2.5 - 2.9 kg-m, 18 - 20 ft-lb)
Exhaust
:40-49Nzm (4.0 - 4.5 kg-m, 29 - 36 ft-lb)
Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve
Clearance
Refer to EM section.
Checking Drive Belt
+Because an auto tensioner adjustment mechanism is
provided, it is not necessary to check or adjust the ten-
sion of accessory belt.
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if
necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check the damper unit of the auto tensioner for oil leaks.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR
CONDITIONER BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following pro-
cedure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of
auto tensioner with a closed wrench.
+Preferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in)
or more in length.
+No bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the
operation.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the
arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
+Because the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
+Because the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is
made of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden
input, turn it slowly according to the contraction of the
damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then
remove it from the other pulleys.
+If the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
+When handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil
or coolant from adhering to the belt.
+Do not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
+Install the belt in the reverse order of removal.
+After installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
+Depending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil
may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
